What has MCA done in 60 years, DAP retorts over New Village remark

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – DAP has fired back at MCA after being accused of neglecting New Villages when it held federal power, questioning whether the latter has made any meaningful contribution to the community.

This comes after MCA vice-president Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker alleged that DAP had wilfully neglected the welfare of the mainly Chinese-inhabited villages, despite enjoying an overwhelming support from the residents.

DAP assistant political education director Ong Kian Ming said Ti should look at himself in the mirror and question his party’s “major” achievements when in power in the last 60 years, before DAP took over in May 2018.

Ong told The Vibes that DAP has a good track record in overseeing the New Villages and appointing suitable officials there – particularly in Penang and Selangor, where the party has been ruling with allies since 2008.

“We may not have had experience at first, but we were able to quickly identify good and qualified candidates to take over these positions all across the country.

“Our record over time speaks for itself.”
